Description

The instant number one New York Times bestseller presents a groundbreaking perspective on how to optimize our health now and in the future.

What if a wide range of health issues—such as depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and cancer—are all rooted in the same underlying cause? The good news is that we have the ability to prevent and even reverse these conditions, and the solution is simpler than we might think. The key lies in our metabolic function, an essential yet often misunderstood factor in overall health.

In this revolutionary book, Dr. Casey Means explains that nearly every health challenge we face is connected to how effectively our cells generate and use energy. To avoid both everyday discomfort and serious diseases, our cells need to produce “good energy,” the essential fuel that influences both physical and mental well-being. When minor signs of “bad energy” appear, they often serve as warnings of more serious health issues that may emerge over time.

For the first time, we now have the tools to closely monitor metabolic health and make informed choices to improve it. Combining cutting-edge scientific research with compelling personal stories and insights from the health technology company Dr. Means co-founded, this book provides a four-week plan designed to empower individuals to take control of their well-being.

Readers will discover:

– The five key biomarkers that determine the risk for serious diseases
– How to use affordable tools and technology to gain deeper insights into their own health and take meaningful action
– Why popular dietary advice can be misleading and six foundational food principles that apply to all eating styles, whether carnivore or vegan
– The important connection between sleep, circadian rhythms, and metabolism
– A new approach to exercise that focuses on incorporating movement into daily life
– How exposure to heat and cold can help strengthen the body’s resilience
– Practical strategies for working within the medical system to access the resources needed for optimal health

This book redefines our understanding of disease by uncovering a hidden yet fundamental cause of illness. Through this knowledge, readers will be equipped to enhance their health, improve their energy levels, and build a foundation for lifelong wellness.
